Films do not have to be a premiere but should not have screened in Memphis at other festivals or public screenings.

In addition to the films themselves, panel discussions on topics of relevance in the film industry are presented by experts in the field during each festival. On Location: MEMPHIS draws a wide range of VIPs as well, as past guests have included Morgan Freeman, Vivica Fox, Robert Townsend, the late Isaac Hayes, Johhny Cash’s drummer Fluke Holland and a host of other notable celebrity visitors.

Musicians working in a variety of music ranging from rock to hip-hop, jazz, blues, and beyond make up the music portion of the program, many of whom are ready and willing to use their music in film projects.
